SSL support in 4.1.10

I'm using 4.1.10 to perform SSL - with client authentication - using JSSE
1.0.3.

The documentaion descibes how to configure to use TLS using the protocol=
keyword.  What if I want to use either:

SSLv3

or SSLv2

Hi all,

I also got Tomcat working with client auth. last week. What I believe is 
not documented in the docs is how Tomcat authenticates the client 
certificates, i.e. the truststore used by Tomcat. AFAIK, the truststore 
cannot be specified in the server.xml, and Tomcat just uses the 
trusstore of the JVM that it is started in. In my case that was the 
cacerts file in the %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security directory, and I got it 
working by importing my (self-signed) client certificate into this 
truststore prior to starting Tomcat.

Another approach could be to define the java system property 
"truststore" when starting Tomcat, but I didn't try it.

Maybe this info could be integrated into the How-To docs (any dev people 
listening?), as a lot of people seem to have difficulties with this (so 
did I for a long time :-)

cheers,

memo

Has anyone got input on this.

BTW got Tomcat working with SSL (or rather TLS!) client authentication.
There is an extra step one needs (that's not documented in the Tomcat SSL
How to guide).  So now we have several servlets communicating with each
other, over the SSL link, performing some OASIS SAML requests/responses.
